DescriptionThe first ever RATPOD (Ride Around The Pioneers in One Day) one-day 157-mile road cycling event took place in June 2002 in the Big Hole Valley as a benefit for Camp Mak-A-Dream. It drew 112 riders and raised just over $35,000. Today, we are celebrating RATPOD’s 25th anniversary and saying farewell to the event. After welcoming more than 8,700 riders, hundreds of volunteers and raising over $7 million for Camp, we are celebrating this milestone and invite you to join us!

Breaking Away: Dave (Dennis Christopher) and his working-class friends Cyril (Daniel Stern), Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley) and Mike (Dennis Quaid) spend their post-high school days in Bloomington, Indiana, sparring with snooty students from the local university, chasing girls and--in Dave's case--dreaming of competitive bicycle racing. The four friends face opposition from all corners as they decide to make Dave's dreams come true in the university's annual bicycle endurance race.
